Einstein equations don't work at large scale?

Below short video explain that Einstein equations don't work at large scale and dark matter/energy are just "fix" to make equations try to work. I also know that Einstein theory dont fit in quantum world. I am interested what are the consequences that theory not works in large and micro scale... Read more

Is GR superior to Newtonian gravity?

Can we use GR to model real world gravitating objects without any reference to Newtonian gravity? There are a lot of interactions between massive particles involving exchange of energy. In Newtonian gravity we have gravitational potential which fits into the framework of classical physics quite... Read more

Bresser Messier NT2031000 Spiegelteleskop

Deutsches justitzauktion: https://www.zoll-auktion.de/auktion/produkt/1_Bresser_Messier_NT2031000_Spiegelteleskop/977962 It may not be tip-top, and you have to pick it up yourself. But there's only 12 days to the auktion stops and there are no bids yet. Startprice is €250. Sorry if this... Read more

I don't understand the Michelson–Morley experiment

I don't understand why people in Michelson-Morley experiment expect that light speed in direction in Earth motion would be light speed + earth speed, if they measure speed from earth frame? Of course, we will get always light speed if we measure speed from Earth frame(as they did). If car travel... Read more

Young's slits with incandescent light source

I have been looking at various sources, especially the (now closed) thread on PF classical optics "Coherence, Young's double slit experiments." The trick to making the double slit experiment work with incandescent, as opposed to laser, light is to pass it through an initial single slit 'to make... Read more

Newton's bucket experiment

If you remove all matter in universe when Newton bucket is spinning(water level is still curved), bucket spins in relation to what? How we called this frame?
